Since this takes into account both batting and pitching performances, teams at the top of the list in a given year are very likely to be playoff teams that year. The average score in a given year is right around 0 (equal number of hits given up and obtained), and there are usually no more than a couple of teams each year that get one or more hits per game than they give up to their opponents.
